Translate Entire Phrases to English?
It appears both my native ability to solve problems and my Google-fu have failed me. I'm trying to figure out a way to translate entire phrases in books on my Forma into English. Currently, I'm reading an old Agatha Christie novel, and she insists on dumping whole paragraphs of untranslated French into the middle of things. But the issue issue would be the same for other languages.

The problem is that the translation dictionaries I've got on the Forma appear to work only on individual words. If I highlight a single word, the dictionary option comes up and I can change dictionaries to the right language. But, if I highlight more than one word, all I get are options to Undo Highlight, Add Note, and Search (leading to Search in Book, Search Wikipedia and Search Google).

Is there some kind of option or add-in somewhere that would just present me with an actual local translation of whole phrases?
